This study examines whether exhausting exercise in cold air induces bronchial obstruction and changes in exhaled [NO] and in exhaled NO output (V'NO). Thus, eight well-trained males performed two incremental exercise tests until exhaustion, followed by 5 min of recovery in temperate (22 degrees C) and cold (-10 degrees C) environments, at random. At -10 degrees C, they were dressed in warm clothes. Ventilation (V'E), oxygen consumption (V'O2), carbon dioxide production, cardiac frequency (fC), and [NO] and V'NO were measured continuously. Before and after each test, the subjects' maximal expiratory flow-volume curves and peak expiratory flow, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced expiratory flow at 25 (FEF25), 50 (FEF50) and 75% (FEF75) of forced vital capacity were determined. At -10 degrees C, significant decreases in FEV1 and FEF75 were observed after exercise. At rest and at the same submaximal intensity, V'O2, V'E and fC did not differ significantly. At rest and up to approximately 50% peak V'O2, [NO] and V'NO values were lower at -10 degrees C than at 22 degrees C. Thereafter, and during recovery, the V'NO response became similar at both -10 and 22 degrees C. This study confirms that considerable hyperpnoea in cold air causes a detectable airway obstruction. This airway cooling also induces an initial decrease in the exhaled NO response. Since endogenous NO-production is involved in bronchial dilation, it cannot be excluded that this lack of production may favour the appearance of airway obstruction.
